Are you ready to get down and dirty wit this hot chocolate alternative? I promise you that you will be definitely happy with each sip of this delightful drink.

The flavors of this pumpkin hot chocolate are amazing. There is a mix of nutmeg and cinnamon and then the ever discreet flavor of the pumpkin.

Even on a hot day, having a cup of this is worth it.

The weather seems to be so confused these past few weeks.

It's Spring time in Florida and we are still having to, on some days, pull out a light jacket. I know some other states are still being hit with snow.

This easily gives me an excuse to whip up a batch of pumpkin hot chocolate.




The depth of flavor in this drink really makes it extra special.

Though I think nothing can beat hot chocolate, adding the pumpkin merged with some nutmeg and cinnamon is a great alternative.

Making this takes less than 15 minutes.

Heat a pot on a low heat and add milk


Once the milk is heated through, add the pumpkin puree and mix. You can easily use the canned pumpkin puree or steam a piece of fresh pumpkin then strain it. (Get the canned)

Add the dry ingredients


And leave it to simmer for about 8 minutes, stirring through the process,

Then add the chocolate, and stir some more



Then it's ready to serve


Topped with whipped creme and sprinkles of coconut flakes.

Oh so yummy.


Cold weather not needed.
